He got carried away with it

Nice car - shame about the driver. Pic from Lozere gendarmes

The Le Mans 24 hour classic is a road race with high speed sports cars competing non-stop for, well 24 hours. One enthusiast seems to have been so captured with it that on his way back home to the Herault in his Alfa Romeo 8c Competizzione that he wound it up to 250 kph (155mph in old money).
Unsurprisingly he was flashed by the gendarmes, who confiscated his licence. He faces a loss of 6 points and a fine up to 1600 euros. Obviously fast cars can be fun, but they are dangerous in the hands of non-professionals and on roads unsuited to such speeds. Stick to the race track lads!
